Oh dear, lots of misinformation coming through on this bonzer thread....
UK has some entirely random transition altitude that depends on your location & probably the phase of the moon all mixed in with many schools teaching their PPL students to use QFE and the military using using the same. In other words it's not obvious what you should be on where, with whom, and when. Very British in efficiency & ease of use
What utter tosh... someone needs to research the climatic & airspace usage system prevelant in the UK!
Shock Stall... do you fly? I hope not with your rather simplistic take on altimetry! You have failed to grasp the concept that QFE is used only for
landing , not take off (unless ciruits), and certainly never flight towards 'rising terrain'.
Is it only me, or has PPRuNe been hi-jacked these days with spotters and pratts....
